With my wife having Emphysema, she call her PCP and lung doctor to get advice. The lung doctors office didn't call back, and her PCP office told her to use Tylenol and any cough syrup labeled DM. Covid doesn't appear to be a high concern among local physicians.

I got the virus about two weeks ago and on advise of a friend asked our DR about paxlovid. She called in a prescription and it might have helped (hard to know for sure with two vaccinations and two boosters). Only thing is I managed to get rebound covid 5 days after first time which seems to happen in about 10% of cases. Understand a new pill has been approved but do not remember but you should be able to google it.
Other than these new pills which might or might not help all you can do is manage the symptoms and drink plenty of liquids.
Good luck.
